HKU Law promotes creative and ethical use of copyright works in education with short videos

Led by HKU Faculty of Law Associate Dean (Academic Affairs) and Associate Professor Ms Alice Lee, a series of short videos titled “Copyright Classroom”, supported by the HKU Knowledge Exchange Funding and HKU Teaching Development Grant, is produced to promote creative and ethical use of copyright works in education. Ms Lee hopes both the education sector and the general public will have a better understanding of copyright principles through the videos, be able to identify copyright exceptions in teaching and learning, and know where to look if relevant resources and materials are needed. She also thanks law alumnus Uncle Siu for being the voice over, other team members and partner secondary schools for their inputs. A total of nine videos, tailor-made for the tertiary, secondary and primary education sectors, are disseminated through “The Copyright Classroom – HKU” channel as well as Ms Lee’s education website.

HKU publishes EOC-funded study on unconscious bias

A study, “Doing Equality Consciously: Understanding Unconscious Bias and its Role and Implications in the Achievement of Equality in Hong Kong and Asia”, funded by the Equal Opportunities Commission was published on 24 September 2019. The project was housed at The University of Hong Kong’s Women’s Studies Research Centre (WSRC) and the Faculty of Law’s Centre for Comparative and Public Law (CCPL), and aimed to look into the types and extent of unconscious bias and the potential for intervention in different settings. The report offers several recommendations, including incorporating implicit bias awareness into early childhood education, and institutionalising training in governmental, educational, corporate, health, civil society, legal, and social welfare organisations.
